SK Chemical Delivers 4,500 Packs of 'Haengbok Kimchi' to Low-Income Families

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] SK Chemicals held the 'SK Happiness Sharing Season' to deliver warm sharing to the local community.

On the 15th, SK Chemicals announced that it delivered 'SK Happiness Kimchi' to help low-income families in the Seongnam area have a warm winter, together with affiliated companies located in Seongnam such as SK㈜ C&C, SK Gas, and SK Planet.

This is the 16th year of SK's kimchi delivery for vulnerable groups in the region. The 'SK Happiness Sharing Kimchi' event involved purchasing kimchi produced by social enterprises, totaling 4,500 heads of kimchi, equivalent to 1,000 boxes, which were delivered to social welfare facilities in Seongnam City.

This SK Happiness Sharing Season also included the joint production of the 'Hope Maker Wise Home Stay Kit.' The Wise Home Stay Kit consists of food items, nutritional supplements, and home training tools that help maintain health while practicing social distancing to prevent the local spread of COVID-19, and was delivered to 157 Hope Maker children.

SK Chemicals usually holds the 'Hope Maker' year-end event at its headquarters Eco Lab located in Pangyo, Seongnam every year, but this year, considering the COVID-19 situation, it plans to deliver Christmas gifts and family dining vouchers non-face-to-face. Hope Maker is SK Chemicals' social contribution program implemented since 2012, where each team within the company is matched one-on-one with local youth to support them until they reach adulthood.

SK Chemicals’ Bae Hyuk, Head of Corporate Culture Office, said, "Although this year was difficult for everyone due to COVID-19, we will work together with our members through various social contribution activities to overcome the depressed social atmosphere."
